Bream Wood, located in the county of Sussex, England, is a beautiful and diverse forest encompassing an area of approximately 200 acres. The wood is situated near the village of Bream, hence its name, and is surrounded by picturesque countryside and rolling hills.

Bream Wood is predominantly made up of a mix of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, ash, and birch, creating a rich and vibrant woodland environment. These trees provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife, from birds and small mammals to insects and reptiles.

The forest is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, making it a popular destination for walkers, nature enthusiasts, and families seeking outdoor recreation. The paths wind their way through the wood, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the diverse flora and fauna that call Bream Wood home.

In addition to its natural beauty, Bream Wood also has historical significance. The forest has been in existence for centuries, and remnants of ancient earthworks and boundary banks can still be found within its boundaries, hinting at its long-standing presence in the area.

Bream Wood is open to the public year-round, and visitors are encouraged to respect and preserve its natural beauty. The forest offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, inviting individuals to immerse themselves in the serenity and wonder of nature.

Four Acre Mead The name of the field according to Withyham's 1842 tithe map that is now part of Park Grove Deer Farm. The herd was lying against the fence as I approached and didn't take off as wild deer are prone to do but slowly rose and gradually moved further up the hill. A brave younger stag even decided to have a sniff at my hand when I put it through the fence. What was interesting was observing the herd's leader stag, clearly visible on the left, gently shift the herd away from the fence as I walked past them.
